A chance meeting of Will & Hesse at a screening in NYC brings you a special bonus episode of Movie Mindset. In lieu of covering this summer’s cinematic event of Barbie/Oppenheimer, we discuss two westerns by American movie master Howard Hawks: 1959’s Rio Bravo and 1966’s El Dorado. We examine the essential place of The Western in American consciousness, and how the western is essentially about taking a bath with the homies.

Oppenheimer and Barbie both rule-see the former in 70mm if you can. Love you guys

Watched El Dorado last night, was amazing hearing John Wayne and other legends repeatedly say my name

Just watched John Ford's "The Long Journey Home" and found it very compelling. Anyway, another Movie Mindset possibility.

I think with El Dorado and the much darker tone and the kid killing himself on account of being gutshot the difference is that Rio Bravo was made in 1959 and El Dorado was made in 1966, the latter was made during the Vietnam war and the idea of young men dying for no reason was in the public consciousness
